Queen's University Belfast, Northern Ireland

Organization: Society for Women in Philosophy Ireland and QUB

SWIP Ireland seek abstracts of up to 350 words for a one day workshop, which respond to one or more of the questions below:

Have concept, will travel – is feminist philosophy a productive contradiction in terms? Does feminist theory’s commitment to social change and transdisciplinarity set it at odds with philosophy as an academic discipline, and if so how? How are feminist and critical race theories working to transform or develop alternative social and political imaginaries in the UK and Ireland? In what ways are we moving toward a critical-theoretical account of race, sex and gender which embraces everyday experiences? What philosophical or political understandings of subjectivity, justice and citizenship are currently operative in the UK and Ireland?

Keynote session: Professor Stella Sandford, Kingston University

Please submit your abstract and a short bio by noon, November 25th 2018 to swipiworkshop2019@gmail.com. There will be one PGR panel - if submitting to this panel please indicate so. If accepted to this panel, full papers of 3000 words will be required to be submitted by January 11th, 2019.
